I hate selling online now. Even after it moves you have to worry about someone complaining and returning ti for some minor issue or bush league complaint. People are assholes.

exactly why I am done.
 
I never have issues bc I make every effort to stand behind every deal I make. I detail everything so every deal makes sense however I did close my reverb acct bc I didn't like their new policies and how it seems to lean towards a buyer and secondly I use PayPal and can only be used as a guest so that still works out. Instead of complaining people are assholes, know your buyers, make a greater effort to answer their needs in a timely manner. Is this tough?

I think they are referring to the unscrupulous people that take advantage of the ludicrous return policy that PP, Ebay and Reverb have enacted on used gear, it rates right up there with taxing used items upon which the taxes were paid when they were new, I guess this is to help bail out bankrupt states, tax,tax,tax. There seems to be more and more people using the return policies to use gear for 3-6 months then say there was something wrong with the item or there is now undisclosed flaw that wasn't mentioned by the buyer upon receipt of the item and the seller is forced to take an item back 6 months after the fact. I could see if there was damage immediately reported upon receipt. You can be the most diligent honest seller you will eventually run into one or more of these scam artist types.

I had a buyer try to lay groundwork to try demand some money saying in his opinion the item was going to need repair, it was a Rivera Rockcrusher and the studio level knob is a rheostat pot and it makes a whirring sound when you turn it because of the contacts riding on the coil, the line out knob is smooth and quiet because it's a regular audio grade pot, he thought the studio pot should be exactly like the line out pot. He said the studio level knob made metal to metal grinding noises and was going to need to fixed. I responded that my other Rivera was the same was as well as my THD hotplate and that there was nothing wrong with it. I told him if he felt it was faulty please pack it back up and ship it back to me immediately, no questions asked in the same packing I sent to him. I let ten days elapse and he never responded back at all, nothing. I figured he would be filing a claim at the 90 mark but I took screenshots of the Ebay messages I sent telling him to return the item immediately for a refund. At the end of ten days I messaged him that the return offer had become null and void. I waited for a claim at the 90 mark, but nothing came of it, I doubt my sreenshots would have helped any but I had them anyway to bolster my case.
